I heard about a fellow a few years in your same situation. He was working on
the rear slope of his house. He threw the rope over the roof and tied off to
the bumper of his truck in the driveway. His wife drove off and damn near
killed him.

Hey all,
Made my own harness, bought some good rope and some combs, and climbed the
roof no problem. Had a friend hold my line until I was up top and tied on
to something. No flat portion of the roof, just an angle. Tore down the
old rotted TV antenna and put up the 5ft mast with the new Aluminum and
Fiberglass multi wave Scanner anetenna. Grounded it, droped the coax, and
repelled down the roof. (was actually up and down twice) in 16 degrees.

thanks Brian...
